Eurocom 481  
in short
order details
Eurocom Zrt was a open access operator from Hungary. It recieved two TRAXX AC2 electrics for its services, finaced by Deutsche Leasing Hungaria. They were the first TRAXX locomotives in Hungary.

The first unit, designated as 481 001 (originally planned as 185 582!), was relased from Kassel in December 2007. It was transported to Hungary in January 2008. Locomotive number two was completed in September 2008 and had its maiden run to Fulda on 12.09.2008. On 18.09.2008 it left Kassel, heading for Hungary.

481 001 and 002 were mainly used for stone transports all accross Hungary. However, in 2010, Eurocom went bankrupt. AWT Rail from Budapest, took over a considerable part of the Eurocom services, and hired both units on a irregular basis.

Deutsche Leasing Hungaria however decided to sell both locomotives, so since 2010 they were for sale via rail-assets.de since then. After a visit to Kassel and Wegberg-Wildenrath during the summer of 2011, the 481 001 and 002 were both sold to lease company Railpool.

The two former Eurocom locomotives, 481 001 and 002, are sold to lease company Railpool. They will be integrated into the pool of Railpool. It is not sure yet if AWT will continue to hire these machines.

In 2008, Bombardier delivered two Traxx AC2 locomotives to Eurocom, both being financed by Deutsche Leasing Hungaria. They were mainly used for stone transports all accross Hungary. However, in 2010, Eurocom went bankrupt. Since than, the 481 001 and 002 were hired by AWT Rail from Budapest, which took over a considerable part of the Eurocom services.

Than another owner had to be found for these two machines was clear since 2010, as they were for sale at rail-assets.de since then. In the past two months both units visited the Bombardier assembly factory in Kassel and Siemens test center in Wegberg-Wildenrath for adjustments.
